How far would you go to find yourself? The lyrical, life-affirming novel from the nation’s favourite storyteller ‘Michael Morpurgo’s best book in years’ Observer When six-year-old Arthur is shipped to Australia after the Second World War, he loses everything he knows. Subjected to brutal hardship on a working farm before finding a home with the eccentric Aunty Megs, Arthur is eventually called back to the sea. Now Arthur has built a yacht for his daughter, Allie, who is determined to sail to England to find her father’s long-lost sister. Will love stretch across time and oceans and reveal how Arthur’s life began?
